DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Bath repair in Reach without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Reach. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we’re called out for in Reach

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reach
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

When a repair is not the answer

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Reach
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Reach and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
